I'd like to say I'm glad we are enforcing our contract to the fullest. But may I point out our common enemy. After years of spending countless horrible 18-20hr layovers in queens we suddenly decided to file a group grievance for LGA long overnights. We won that grievance and now we are in manhattan. The hotel is acceptable and the location is very good.
So what does the company do? They've made their pairing optimizer limit the number of LGA long overnights just to fukc us. There are TWO overnights at the long hotel, yes, TWO. Both are about 14hrs with long rides in ludicrous traffic on both ends. 1:55 prior to departure at O'dark thirty for one ride to the airport. Now with LGA construction the van is being moved up another 15min for a whopping 2:10 prior to departure. If you're running on time you get 11:30 at the hotel if you're lucky. Plenty of time to do whatever the hell it is that people do in a crowded city.
So after countless crews spending 20 painful hours in queens. They've got it down to just two sets of pilots in manhattan feeling what it's like to get fukced. This company will stop at nothing to screw us.
Btw has anyone seen the new united rates with signing of the delta ta. YEAH...
Are we not ****ed off enough yet. What the fukc guys!!!
